The CAF User Training course is for both practitioners and operational managers working in the relevant locality who need to understand how CAF will be used in practice. To find out if this is a course you should attend, please contact your Locality Manager.

To book onto the course, contact the Information Sharing and School Improvement Service (ISSIS) Team on 01480 355965. 

E -Learning

All practitioners who work with children must have a basic awareness of the CAF process even if they do not need to have the detailed training necessary to be able to undertake an actual assessment.

An E-learning package is available which provides that basic understanding.  Go to www.kwango.com/cambscaflogin
For username and password please contact OneVision@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

You will need to take a quiz at the end and score at least 15 out of 20 for your completion of the course to be confirmed,  The course is also useful for practitioners who have had the full training but want to extend or refresh their knowledge.  For more information call 01480 355965.
